A rare and complete dining set by H.T. Cushman Manufacturing Company of North Bennington, Vermont — one of America’s most respected mid-century craft furniture makers.
This is a truly one-of-a-kind level of where from a well kept home, making it nicely worn in, but still very clean.
This set features a cantilever leaf extension table (leaves pull out from beneath the top — a more refined mechanism than the standard drop-leaf) paired with six matching handled-back side chairs in solid maple.
Sourced from a distinguished designer estate in Lakeville, Connecticut — a country compound assembled by noted designers Alan Wanzenberg and Pepe Lopez — this set carries exceptional provenance and has lived beautifully in a sun-filled dining room.
The sculptural chairs with their carved cutout handles, saddled seats, and splayed legs are quintessential Cushman — sturdy, warm, and surprisingly modern in profile. The table presents a clean rectangular form with tapered legs and rich maple grain.

Tabletop shows light surface scratches and minor scuffs consistent with age and use — honest patina, not damage. Center seam visible where leaves meet. Finish is original and intact. Structure is solid; no wobble, no repairs noted. Chairs (set of 6): All six chairs are sturdy and sound. Seats show light wear and minor surface scratching consistent with decades of use. No breaks, no regluing, no missing parts. Original finish throughout. Overall: This is an unrestored, all-original set. A light cleaning or paste wax treatment would bring out the maple beautifully. A collector or restorer could refinish to like-new condition, but you would be crazy to sacrifice this gorgeous one of a kind rubbed patina built from decades of use. less
